Posted March 24, 2018 2 minutes ago, TacticalBigBoss said: no it does not Sounds like you killed your card then. Sadly there is nothing you can do about it and in doing so, likely voided the warranty with EVGA. You can try RMAing it, but you likely will be turned down or have to pay for the repairs since it appears to be user caused.

Posted March 24, 2018 Did you tighten the waterblock down real hard? If so you probably killed the exposed die, never over tighten when working on hardware. Could also be that you shorted something on the board. Neither of these fall under EVGA's warranty, sorry to say but you are S-O-L When the PC is acting up haunted, who ya gonna call?"Monotone voice" : A local computer store. *Terrible joke I know* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 25, 2018 Can’t really say as I wasn’t there for install. Assume there was a mistake made somewhere. It’s more common for back plates to be the issue though. Either way, if it isn’t working with the stock cooler on, prolly dead. Assuming you booted with both cards in the rig to ensure it doesn’t pop up somewhere. Or using integrated if applicable.
